So I'm going to hit 58g of total fat for my medium and low days and keep my high days as close to zero fats as possible. For some reason, when I pulled my whole eggs out in my last meal, my sleep started to suffer. Not sure why that is but its just something I noticed. Since I typically eat less carbs in my last two meals, I'm going to add some fats in those meals and see how I feel.
I listened to Dr Todd talk about fats and he think somewhere around 15% of total calories for an enhanced athlete is a good place to be. Funny enough, Mike Mentzer used to preach the same thing. Kurt Havens is a trace fats guy only while Justin Harris, Hany, and Matt Jansen are big on added fats in their diets. Mike Israetel and John Meadows suggests somewhere between 0.3g/lb - 0.5g/lb of body weight. I'm going to use 0.35g/LBM which puts me at 58g right now. That is about 15% of total calories on low and medium days and also is right at the 0.3g/lb of body weight. This should keep my fats "low" but let me get a bit more fat in at night. I'll test it and see what happens.
Kurt Havens talks about only using trace fats but he is coached by Paul Barnett who follows Justins added fats approach. So I'm a bit confused by hearing him talk about only using trace fats and fish oil.
I know I'm over complicating all of this but I really like to learn the reasonings behind each coaches decisions. I'd be a terrible client because I would ask all these questions. :ROFLMAO:
